How to Choose New Flooring When Remodeling Your Home
Wednesday, March 22nd, 2017
Your choice in new flooring can make or break your remodeling experience depending on the material you select. That being said, how do you know what kind of flooring to pick?
There are three main things you should consider when choosing the right flooring material for your next project.
1. The Room You’re Remodeling
The room you’re remodeling will most likely determine what kind of flooring you should install. If you’re remodeling your kitchen, you’ll want to choose a hardy flooring that can withstand a lot of traffic, especially if your home has an open floor plan. If you’re remodeling your bathroom, you’ll want to choose a waterproof flooring that is also slip resistant.

2. What You Want to Get Out of Your New Floors
When choosing flooring, you’ll want to think about exactly what you hope to get out of your new floor. Do you want your floor to be a focal point? Or is functionality more important? The answer to this question will influence your decision on what you will be willing to spend on flooring materials, which we’ll elaborate in the next point.
3. Your Remodeling Budget
The floors in a home can change the overall look and feel of a room. How much you spend on your new flooring really depends on how much you value its long-term investment. When you think about how much of your remodeling budget you should dedicate to flooring, you’ll also want to think about its average lifespan and how your new floors will impact your home’s resale value.
